Synopsis
Childless couples frequently arrange and pay for surrogacy. Yet surrogacy can be a minefield of complex issues. Nikola, once a surrogate mother, filed a lawsuit to keep her child. After Renata had given birth to a baby with Down’s syndrome, the intended parents were thrown off as much as Renata and her family. Monika is a happy, model surrogate who makes surrogacy seem as easy as ordering a piece of furniture.
The raw, existential and practical aspects of surrogacy as captured in the stories of three women, their kids, partners and the intended parents. Can surrogates really live as baby-making machines? The legal and ethical vacuum surrounding surrogacy.
